Years. Don’t think I’ll ever leave this space, it’s peaceful
Well. An year. I was at my lowest and I didn’t really understand what actually is going on. So I decided to actually cut off from everything and try to understand what is even bothering me so much. I was away. Used to go for walks alone. Eat alone. Sleep sit alone.
And I discovered I had depression later. But yeah, i struggled alone and came out all by myself.
About 1-2 weeks. I was in the worst in my depression. My peaceful nightly walks I take to clear my mind made me wish something bad would happen to me instead. Once I was just chilling at the park for a couple of hours and silently crying around 3am.
A guy approached me and I thought he was going to do something to me. I was hoping for it. But he asked if I was okay. Mf, do I look OK? 💀 I said yes anyway. He told me he doesn’t know what happened, but I should probably go home.
So I did…

Almost 6 months. But best decision ever, I don’t take part in random discussions happening between coworkers especially if it involves a sensitive topic. I don’t respond to rage bait and mostly stay off social media especially Instagram. Only a few good friends stick around and I am very satisfied with my life..
48 hours after my mom passed. Didn’t eat barely slept just sat in her favorite reading chair trying to process it all. Sometimes you need that complete disconnect to let reality sink in.
I do not like being like that. The longest was around 3 weeks in February when I was very ill and could not go out of the house and mostly had temperature or was too weak to text anyone consistently. Uh and a part of this time I could not talk in voice too. I still enjoyed the visits of the doctor and my mother. I could just listen to them talking. I am not a super extroverted person, I like my daily alone time, but I missed the people.

Ah so unmedicated depression
Few months at best. I love being around people
My whole life. I’ve never felt like I belong anywhere. People can be friendly, but I don’t know how to keep friends. People can be welcoming, but it feels superficial and fake. I don’t know how to belong.
